The implementation of a rookie wage scale in 2011 has largely ended contract holdouts of draft picks, with a couple of exceptions.

Cincinnati Bengals rookie Shemar Stewart did not attend the final day of the team's mandatory minicamp on Thursday amid a contract dispute that has prevented him from beginning his practices with the team since being drafted in the first round in April.

Bengals first-round pick Shemar Stewart had been a spectator at the team practices this summer, but was not present as the team wrapped up its summer program.
